We have be going here for the past 3 yr. mostly because my 6 yr. old son LOVES the place. Usually at least once a week. I make the drive from DuBois because really there isn't much to do in the area.The food is just ok, prices not bad. Nice salad bar. Breakfast buffet by far the best! The desserts are very good as well. The service is good, we have come to know quite a few of the servers. It was very upsetting to arrive one night at 8:35 & be told we could not have dinner only desserts. I asked about the hours posted on the door with closing at 9:00pm, I was told the grills were off. To make the drive & be turned away has left me more than displeased & we have not returned. Not sure that I will ever make WEEKLY visits there again.

We eat here every year after a family trip to enjoy the Cook Forest area. Meals are always tasty and the staff is efficient and friendly. Nothing fancy or exceptional - just reasonable priced homestyle meals. Nice salad bar and fair portions. Lots to do after the meal as well - ice cream, shopping, mini golf, etc. petting zoo gets more expensive each year - it used to be free.

Food was good at a fair price but really cant get into seeing these poor animals (bears, cougars, wolves) pacing frantically in their "jails" just for human amusement. Now I dont know if these were "rescues" from injury, etc......but this is not my idea of a fun day out with the kids.

Actually dont know if this is even open anymore.
